Residents ask that historic storefront be preserved as applicant readies Addis Marketplace

Staff presented the Addis Marketplace LLC proposal (case PC2026‑155) for 24005 Sorrento Avenue and said the applicant currently has a contract to occupy Building 3, not the adjacent older storefront. Paul Green, who said he is part of the project, confirmed that Building 3 (the smaller building on the left when approaching on County Road 437) is the one planned for use and that parking and internal layout would not change for this limited activation.

Several residents urged that the older adjoining building, built in the 1940s, be preserved rather than left to deteriorate. Joanne Maynard of the Mount Plymouth Landowners noted the building’s historic parapet and large display windows and said the league would contact the owner to explore preservation. Staff said facade‑improvement grant funds exist and offered to pass the owner’s contact information to the program manager so the owner could be approached about repairs and paint.
